what you would grade this coin. The contact marks on the front of the coin cannot be seen just by looking at the coin unless your closeup as in the scan. This coin still has a good bit of mint shine present. I have read that 1880-o is a semi-key date is this true.

The coin actually looks much better than the scan makes it appear

Going by the ANA grading guide it grades AU. The feathers on the eagle breast are almost gone which makes it a low AU or XF, the obverse is an AU 55 or AU 58. There is wear in the hair. With a mintage of 5,305,000 it is not a semi key date. It is worth some buck in grades MS-63 $300 and $17,850 in MS-65. New Orleans mint dollars, at least most dates have strikes that are not so good. prices are what a dealer would pay. Your coin $16.75 in AU. I found out one thing scans and photo's make coin look better most of the time than they are. There are exception though due to the holder they are in maybe dirty or scratched.

These are more common in the lower grades but prices go up in MS64 and higher.

Not so good. I have a lot of non mint quality and they look better than that one.
